BMW Isetta microcar- photos

[Altair]

First built by the Italian firm Iso SpA in 1953, the Isetta microcar was known for its single front door used for entry and egress. In the event of a crash, the driver and passenger were to exit through the canvas sunroof. Several iterations were built under license by BMW, the French firm VELAM, De Carlo of Argentina, and Romi-Isetta of Brazil.
